Get the fish, cut in small pieces.Wash the pieces properly.Washing is very important so that it gets rid of that fishy smell.

This paste will be used as a coating on the marinated fish pieces.Whenever you want to serve the fried fish.Fish pieces should be coated with this paste and left for an hour before frying,as shown in the picture below.
Now your fish is ready for frying.Whenever you want to serve it hot put small quantity of oil in a pan and you can fry the fish pieces.If you want to deep fry the fish pieces.Heat oil in a kadhai and put these pieces until they turn dark red or you can see them getting crispy.
